We have previously found that the dithiocarbamate derivatives of quinazolin-4 (3H)-one could act as cytotoxic agents against a panel of human tumor cell lines. To investigate the contribution of dithiocarbamate moiety to the cytotoxic activity, three series of novel quinazolin-4 (3H)-one derivatives bearing thiocarbamate, thiourea or Nmethyldithiocarbamate side chains were synthesized and tested for their cytotoxic ...
